Aka, "vegetarian gets dragged to a steakhouse."
Watch out, that looks like a Caesar salad, which has anchovies in the dressing.

You can make or buy vegan/vegetarian dressings.
Or just not add anchovies, they don't add that much to the taste anyway
Beg to differ, they add so much umami, you could probably do something with seaweed though
Sodium glutamate and aroma compositions are there to help!
My man!

Most places are using bottled dressings shits just flavouring and thickeners.
I was shocked to realize that the cheesecake factory preps everything from scratch. They have a chef who just makes sauces and nothing else.
Seems like where they meet you'd get warm salad and cool fries.
Sometimes the rules have to be broken at the right time to create art
Now THIS is pod racing 😎
Slightly wet fried with an odd taste of anchovies and oil.
my one concern is that I wouldn't want a salad dressing touching my fries. especially since I tend to prefer a light vinagrette.
I wonder if such a sauce exists that could function as both salad dressing and fry sauce. probably something starting with a thousand island base?

Ranch.
Blue cheese, too.

Caesar dressing would be a delight for fries. Really any creamy dressing
Honestly a balsamic vinegarette on some thick fries is pretty fucking great.
This has nothing to do with the original concept/internet meme of "girl dinner", this is just salad and fries. Girl dinner is like... six olives and an entire sleeve of crackers with peanut butter directly out of the jar. Girl dinner is three slices of cheddar cheese, and an entire bag of baby carrots with hummus. If you have the emotional capacity to cook fries and mix a salad, that is not girl dinner, thats just dinner. This is capitalism using buzzwords without understanding what they're saying and I'm irrationally annoyed by this one in particular because I fucking love Girl Dinner.
That is all. Hope your next meal is delicious and fulfilling xoxo
Thanks cokeslutgarbage!
Thank you, this makes so much more sense.
I also love 'Girl Dinner', and I'm just a lazy guy.
I just tend to call it a mega-snack, and eat slightly different combos of snack foods than I guess the stereotypical (typical?) girl snack foods, but they still aim to hit the same spectrum of food groups and nutrients.

I’m a girl, and personally I’d replace fries with wings, but then it becomes normal dinner. Life is hard.
No no no, if it's still in the same glass it should still be valid
I love this logic. Wings it is.
Olay but what about half wings and half fries?
Whatever gets you going, I don’t kink shame.
Can I get shawarma poutine in a fancy glass as my girl dinner?
People assign gender characteristics to the stupidest shit. lmao Like food items and their containers...
Romance languages have awkwardly left the chat
This is how you get cold sad soggy fries.
As a girl, yeah i want that dinner
Just Dönerteller with less stuff
Okay so make these zucchini fries and I am capital P there
That's not how you do cheese fries.
Ok, let me explain….
Those fries look underdone.
Carbs and lettuce?
So I'm a guy and that looks like a fine meal for a night of drinking to me.
The presentation in a comically oversized martini glass is perhaps a bit silly, but...
Yeah this just looks like a pre-game meal of champions to me, if you maybe swap out the croutons for something like breaded chicken nuggets or smaller breaded tenders.
In Pittsburgh odds are fries would come on the salad with every dinner. Strange tradition, but I don't mind it.
